Kernel Season'sPopcorn Seasoning Full Size Jars Variety Pack, Retail Sizes (Pack of 8)

I bought this Kernal Seasons popcorn seasoning mini variety 8-pk as a present to add to my mom’s popcorn themed gift bag. Due to not being able to eat sugar, she’s been munching on popcorn a lot. She’s tiring of the same flavors so I thought she might like a small starter pack of new seasonings. I decided on this 8-pack of mini containers because I didn’t want to buy one each of the regular sized jars (2.6-3 oz each for $3-4 plus some are available in jumbo sized jars of 8-11 oz for $7-8). I doubt she’d be able to eat them all before they went bad and it seemed like a waste in the event that she didn’t like a few flavors. I usually don’t like paying more for less especially when you’re not sure the recipient will like it but since it really was a very low cost gift, I went ahead and bought it. Surprisingly, she loved it and although I knew there might be a few she didn’t care for, she was excited to try all of the flavors. The containers are mini and maybe 1/2 full (0.9 oz) but it’s still a very cute, inexpensive gift for a popcorn lover. Each plastic jar comes w a seal for freshness that must be removed prior to dispensing the seasoning through shaking. I also think they’re the perfect size to throw a couple in your purse or bag to use at the movie theater to make good popcorn even better. It comes in a cute box perfect for gifting or wrapping. Since it’s under $15, it also makes a great white elephant gift at Christmas. It’s also the right size for a gift basket. So far, she’s tried the cheesy jalapeño and loved it. She said it wasn’t hot (but she’s Mexican and what’s not hot to her is most definitely VERY to others so I don’t know what to think) but still had a little kick to it. Even w her sugar issue, the caramel corn flavored seasoning only has 1 gram of sugar so she can still enjoy it. She also said she was impressed w the cute box and liked that it allowed her try 8 flavors instead of being forced to buy them individually. So the recommendations from both the giver and recipient are the exact same: We both highly recommend the Kernal Seasons Mini 8-pack Popcorn Seasonings even though in total you do get way less than buying them individually. Sometimes we won’t buy things for ourselves because we can’t justify the $ or paying more and getting less so it’s nice when someone else does it for us! I’ll update if there are any changes in opinion.

This brand needs to sponsor my family! We eat popcorn nearly every night and LOVE this seasoning! Salt & Vinegar is our favorite with Dill Pickle coming in a close 2nd! Soooooo yummy!!!!!

The sample of flavorings was a great way to try all the flavors.

Some of the flavors are good and some are not. You do have to spray the popcorn with cooking oil. I use an avocado spray oil, in order for the seasoning to stick to the popcorn. Even then, it kind of pools at the bottom of the bowl. I tried spreading the popcorn out on a piece of parchment paper to spray the entire layer and then sprinkle the seasoning on...that seemed to work best. Ok value for the money. I'm glad I got to sample multiple flavors. I'm not sure if I'll purchase again. If I do, I would only want certain flavors.

nice way to try various flavors to determine favorites for larger size order

I love the variety of flavors for the popcorn but I did not feel that the popcorn flavor was strong enough for me I had to sprinkle more just to taste the flavor the white cheddar was delicious and the nacho but the other flavors seem to stick and hard to get not all of them were fresh and you had to use a lot just to feel the flavor The only one that felt flavorful was the kettle corn I sprinkled a lot of the white cheddar and it took a while for it to get the flavor even when I spray butter the nacho jalapeno didn't really taste like nacho jalapeno I'm not sure if I got a bad batch but I've tried this brand before and I would sprinkle just a little and it would be already tasty but this one did not seem to be as tasty or needed more powder to coat the popcorn Just depends it's easy to use but in my case I had to sprinkle a lot just for the taste I like that there was a variety of flavors in one so whatever your mood but the other popcorn powder sticks easily and I had to use a pointed knife to loosen the powder flavoring

We have only tried a couple flavors so far. Lot of different flavors to try. Just remember to get the butter spray so that the flavoring sticks to the popcorn. I bought it for my daughter for her birthday present (along with the popcorn maker) and we didn't realize we needed that butter spray.

We do not eat popcorn without this. It is great.
